About me

My name is Gehan Jia, I also go by Nancy. I received a BS degree from UIUC in May 2024, my major was Math and Computer Science, and my minor was in Critical Film Production.

I started my MSCS program at UIUC in 2024 fall. However, I started to have several major health problems, and I had to put a pause to my studies and return to my family and undergo an invasive surgery. It was a success, and I am recovering fast.

Currently, I am working on independent software projects. They will be used in the building of a startup based on food and beverage services that intersect with modern multi-cultural phenomena. That is, we are building food recipes that are not only good to the taste, but also pleasing to the eyes by visually showcasing their own cultural message. We believe food is the most important building block of any culture.

I am passionate about video production and am looking to combine my computer science knowledge with this discipline.
